WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■
When driving the vehicle
●
Use engine braking (shift position B instead of shift position D) to maintain
a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (
P. 216)
●
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●
Always check that all passengers’ arms, head or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.
●
Do not drive across river crossings or through other bodies of water.
This may cause electric/electronic components to short circuit, damage
the hybrid system or cause other serious damage to the vehicle.
■
When driving on slippery road surfaces
●
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
●
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
●
After driving through a puddle, depress the brake pedal to make sure that
the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
